Should there be a place on the 1120 where I can adjust specific shareholders basis for this contribution to the business, and subsequent distributions (dividends)? The closest thing to a shareholder basis calculation I have found is Schedule M-2 The Analysis of Unappropriated Retained Earning per books. 

Am I understanding you correctly in saying that the contribution should only be entered generically  (not to specific shareholder) under "Capital Stock" and that the distribution should just be a reduction of retained earnings? 

From speaking to other accountants who use different software, they have told me there should be a specific form for shareholder basis calculations such as return of capital.
